I noticed some avatars are getting big. What that does is pushes the message and any attached photo off the right side of the screen. Not only the post with the big avatar, but all posts in that thread. That makes folks have to keep shifting the screen right and left. A bit of an annoyance.<br /><br />Please think about resizing those big avatars before the Admins take some action. I think under 200x200 will work. For reference, mine is 160x74. (FYI, there is a limit to the size your Avatar should be here on iBoats).<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Mark

Cool video mark, I just noticed it. I was wondering why sometimes I has to pan the screen back and forth.

Re: Request for big Avatar users...

another string of "how do I resize my image" will result. <br /><br />I offer a service where I will resize any image for you at a modest cost to the user of "$99.99". <br /><br />I also offer an on line consulting service where I will in real time walk you through the resize process. This for a modest "$9.99" per minute. Please be patient with the technicians accent. <br /><br />Please email "webeepics@ismuz.com"

Is 154 x 154 ok, or am I being a bit "piggish"? ;)

I usually skip the threads w/large avatars due to the left/right thing. Thanks for posting about it mark.

Yes, it is very annoying to scroll right to left, in order to read a post.

Re: Request for big Avatar users...

This is interesting as the presence of the bigavatar does not effect the window size on this post. Is there a maximum width before the window ajdusts. Why does this unusually large avatar not effect the window in an adverse way?
